After leaving the world of all NPCs

The sun is shining, and the world is bright again!

The indiscriminately attacking sun fragments also shot towards Woban on the ground like locusts!

Faced with this torrential rain of light that was powerful enough to vaporize the divine beast, the giant werewolf transformed by Woban not only did not dodge, but instead suddenly opened his wide wolf mouth.

Woban suddenly sucked in the air, and the countless blazing golden feathers that shot towards his body all disappeared into his huge mouth.

The tough fur turned slightly red under the high temperature, emitting wisps of white smoke, but it swallowed up the destructive light.

At the same time, the wound left by the [Sword of the End] also had fuel that could be ignited because of the sun fire swallowed into the body, and the "ignition" of Woban was slightly weakened.

"Hmph!" Jinwu snorted coldly, a little unhappy: "Every one of them can swallow the sun, how audacious!"

After saying that, she returned to Ye Zuochen's body.

"Hahahaha! It's rude not to reciprocate!" Woban, who had swallowed the fragments of the sun, was obviously completely ignited by these consecutive powerful means and laughed happily.

The huge wolf's body suddenly straightened up, and it raised one of its claws and made a grabbing gesture towards the sky which had turned blue again.

The words, carrying the scent of sulfur and scorched earth, came out of his mouth in a low voice.

"—I hereby declare that all living things are equal. Sinners and saints, commoners and heroes, pure children and their mothers, all are equally fed by the flames. Behold with new eyes the moment when the Flame Purgatory and the Kingdom of Fire are born—"

The sky is burning!

The sky within a radius of twenty kilometers instantly turned into a rolling and roaring sea of ​​red fire!

This was the power of annihilation by fire that he usurped from Zhurong, the god of fire in Chinese mythology.

He is the Judge of Karma's Fire!

The fire clouds were as thick as molten lead, pressing down on the earth, as if the sky itself was melted and was about to fall over!

The air was instantly dried out, and the forests, rocks and even the flowing streams below were directly carbonized under the terrifying high temperature radiation.

The whole earth is becoming a prelude to purgatory!

Ye Zuochen just smiled faintly and didn't care at all.

"—Rise from the usurped throne! Headless world-destroying giant—"

"—your neck is a volcano, your body is eternal night—"

"—Swallowing the brilliance of the stars and the moon, erupting the tombstones of the gods—"

The spiritual words resounded, and a huge silhouette that reached the sky and stood tall.

It was a giant made of pure dark bones, with countless huge black bones burning with the red fire of the end, growing madly from the void.

Ribs, arm bones, spine, leg bones...

In a flash, a 500-meter-tall skeleton giant, roughly pieced together from countless huge black bones, stood tall between heaven and earth.

In the cracks between the bones, the red fire of the end surged like lava.

There was no head on the giant's head. Instead, there was an extremely huge black metal ring suspended at the broken neck, like a collar that should be worn around the neck!

Ye Zuochen's figure was standing on the black metal ring.

Facing the downturned cloud of wicked fire, the headless giant simply pointed the black hole of his broken neck at the burning sky.

boom--!

Like a whale sucking water, the vast fire cloud stretching for twenty kilometers was pulled towards the broken neck by an irresistible suction force.

The rolling crimson waves of fire formed a spectacular waterfall of fire and were all sucked away.

The sky cleared up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ye Zuochen looked down at Woban who was also looking up at him on the ground.

"—The bones of the gods form my crown, giant! Witness how your flames burn the gods in the sky—"

The Sword Skeleton Giant slowly raised its huge skeletal palm, and in its palm, countless pitch-black bone spurs grew and took shape crazily.

A huge sword spine made of pure bones took shape in an instant, and then, the red fire of the end, like the sticky blood of a god, ignited from the skeleton sword spine, forming a giant sword of fire.

"—This strike! It is the closing cheer of all living beings—"

The sword-skeleton giant raised the giant sword of fire with one hand and pierced it into the sky. The red flames suddenly erupted and turned into a giant pillar of fire connecting the sky and the earth. It was ten thousand meters high and illuminated the entire sky with a blood-red color!

Ye Zuochen stood on the iron ring, facing the ground below, and gently waved his right hand downwards.

"—This flame! It is the cry of the dawn of a new world—"

The sword skeleton giant held the skeletal arm of a ten-thousand-meter-long flaming sword and swung the sword fiercely!

The next moment, this burning ten thousand meter long sword pillar... fell down!

It was as if the giant pillar supporting the sky was cut in half!

It's like a burning galaxy falling from the sky!

Faced with such a massive attack, Woban could only curl his lips and say, "Well, you're growing up too fast!"

I didn't play well this time. I didn't expect the opponent to have the power to absorb flames and turn them into a flaming sword that bounced back.

boom!

The earth was melted, evaporated, and ended!

A huge rift valley with a width of more than 100 meters and a length of ten kilometers was instantly formed in the red light of destruction.

On both sides of the rift are rock walls that have been instantly melted into a glassy state by high temperatures.

The shock wave turned into a solid white ring-shaped air wall, spreading wildly close to the horizon. Wherever it passed, the mountains collapsed and flattened like sand castles!

Ye Zuochen hovered above the rift valley, the crimson light gradually faded from his body, and the giant shadow of [Dusk Abyss Branded Sword Skeleton] slowly dissipated into the void.

There is no doubt that Woban was completely shattered by this sword.

"However, with the Marquis's tenacious vitality, he probably won't die so easily..."

Ye Zuochen understood in his heart that this level of death was probably not the end for the godslayer who had lived for three hundred years.

But the battle is indeed over.

This kind of battle where there is no spoils even if you win, just deal with it and have fun.

"Okay, let's go back."

165 I'll do something big as soon as I get back

Universe No. 2891 (Magic Index)

A windowless building in the seventh district of Academy City.

Artificial light paints a cold shadow on the metal walls that cover the entire space, without outlining any warm outlines.

Inside the huge cylindrical life support device in the center, the viscous orange-red nutrient solution slowly surged, making a low, sticky gurgling sound.

"Here, what you want." Ye Zuochen shook his wrist lightly, and a transparent feather flew out of his hand and sank into a specific receiving port on the outer wall of the cylindrical device.

The "Head of Greed" of the Fallen Dragon Sin Crown can steal magical wisdom.

It can be either copying or depriving.

The most a normal God Slayer could do was a dull copy, but Ye Zuochen, having reached the third level, could perform more complex operations, like materializing magic and extracting it from the opponent's body.

After the fourth-level Dao Fruit is formed, the magical wisdom can be directly limited in a "written" form.

"...Very interesting." Aleister's voice was filled with a subtle ripple of what could be called "interest." "The structure is incredibly tight, an unprecedentedly complex circuit. The logic is intertwined, and the target it points to is such a high-level being. It certainly has the potential to summon a 'god'. It turns out the phase may have shifted, but the myth remains. No wonder so much of the magic on Earth remains unaffected."

Ye Zuochen raised the corner of his lips slightly, "Of course. I put a lot of effort into getting this thing."

"Energy?" Aleister said calmly, "The records show that you were away from Academy City for no more than twenty-four hours."

"Twenty-four hours?" Ye Zuochen repeated, smiling. "To me, time has never been a linear stream. It's more like the pages of a book that can be flipped through at will, or a boring journey that can be 'skipped'."

He paused and looked at the figure in the device: "My power can skip the process and directly reach the future."

"This time, the goal is set in the near future after I leave."

"Although, there was a slight deviation and it landed in a corner of the United States, but it's not a big problem. At least it's not such a coincidence that He came here in the middle of the day."

"But what we ultimately arrive at is still this world's 'tomorrow'."

Upon hearing this, Aleister's voice flowed out again: "Could you please tell me where the Roman Catholic Church's battle nun unit is right now?"

Ye Zuochen said in a deep voice: "Ah, them?"

"As expected of the elite carefully selected by the Roman Orthodox Church, they are very good in all aspects, especially their appearance, which is quite aesthetically pleasing."

"They made their own choice and followed me voluntarily."

"I rarely refuse well-intentioned offers of help."

Ye Zuochen spread out his hands, his smile harmless and calm.

In fact, it was mainly a sudden whim. After all, she was a nun, and a devout one at that. There was an inexplicable and blasphemous pleasure in conquering her.

Aleister didn't mind this. He had always been very progressive in matters of men and women. He immediately said, "You've gone too far. Not only did you take the Book of Law, you also instigated the rebellion of the nuns."

"The top leaders of the Roman Catholic Church are all very angry now. They think this is a provocation from the scientific camp."

"You've been involved in numerous matters involving the 'Fantasy Hand,' the 'Forbidden Index,' the 'Misawa Academy,' and the 'Book of Law,' and you've never been shy about it. The previous Dragon Head incident could be covered up with a projector prank, but the 'Fantasy Hand' blatantly uses its power."

"I can still deal with the scientific camp's gaze, and I can also negotiate a deal with the English Puritans to smooth things over, but I really can't help the Roman Catholic Church."

"They have their sights firmly set on you."

Aleister asked casually, "How do you plan to deal with making an enemy of one of the largest sects in the Christian religion?"

Ye Zuochen also looked at Aleister and secretly grumbled, "This man really can't be underestimated. Everything is completely linked to each other, but most of the problems are my own fault. He was just the one who arranged the matter of the Book of Law."

"I see. After the previous tests, it's already been confirmed that 'as long as he's still useful, I won't do anything to him.'"

"Now that he has the spell to summon the gods, he has the confidence to negotiate with me."

"After all, I'm still waiting for him to summon the gods."

Aleister's plan was actually to take advantage of Ye Zuochen's indifference.

In other words, he didn't take Aleister seriously at all, and only treated him as a useful tool, or a useful subordinate or collaborator.

In short, Ye Zuochen’s attitude is very simple. As long as he can still do his job, he won’t be too embarrassed.

It was because of this that he said something that he could not handle.

But in fact……

Based on Ye Zuochen's understanding of Aleister, if he wanted to, he could still deal with the Roman Orthodox Church. He just didn't want to do it now, or rather, he didn't want to do it in vain.

Thinking of this, Ye Zuochen asked casually, as if asking about today's weather, "Speaking of which, is Aiwass okay?"

Inside the maintenance device, the orange-red liquid suddenly solidified for a moment.

Maybe only a few tenths of a second.

The nutrient solution began to slowly wriggle again, and the bubbles struggled to separate from it, making a low, sticky gurgling sound again.

Aleister's voice finally rang out again: "After all the mythic aspects were stripped away, the magical properties of the material phase were also taken away. His condition is no longer comparable to before."

"I see." Ye Zuochen nodded slightly and stopped asking questions, as if what he had just said was just a casual greeting.

He changed the subject lightly: "However, if the name is not right, then the words will not flow smoothly. It is indeed not very convenient to move around without an identity."

He took a small step forward, his posture relaxed yet unquestionable, as if a king was bestowing grace.

"Well, I allow you to give me one."

"Title?" Aleister also avoided the previous topic: "What is the title of 'Esper' in Academy City?"

Ye Zuochen laughed upon hearing this and said, "But I'm a bit lazy and don't want to create another 'Material Phase Magic Circuit'."

Aleister fell silent again, then said, "It seems you already know the true nature of Academy City's abilities."

Ye Zuochen smiled and said, "It's actually not that complicated. Mysterious systems like religion and mythology produce phases. There are as many phases as there are religions and myths. Layers of phases are like filters superimposed on each other, forming the world."

"The bottom layer of the universe is the phase of matter, but the phase of matter can also be twisted and manipulated, and that method is 'science'."

"What's the difference between today's science and technology and magic in the past?"

Ye Zuochen smiled and continued, "Superpowers are a mysterious system derived from the material phase, and 'science' itself can also be regarded as a religion."
